100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a diagram
of a protective fender 31 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 7 is a diagram of a locking component 351 according to the first embodiment of
the present invention. FIG. 8 is a sectional diagram of the child car safety seat
100 along an A-A line shown in FIG. 3 according to the first embodiment of the present
invention. FIG. 9 is an enlarged diagram of a B portion of the child car safety seat
100 shown in FIG. 8 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG.
10 is a diagram of a connecting portion 21 shown in FIG. 3 according to the first
embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG 1 and FIG. 2, the child car safety
seat 100 includes a seat body 10 and a base 20 and two lateral shock absorbers 30.
The seat body 10 is installed on the base 20 for accommodating a child. The two lateral
shock absorbers 30 are disposed on two sides of the base 20. The two lateral shock
absorbers 30 can be operated to switch from a folded state as shown in FIG. 1 to an
unfolded state as shown in FIG. 2 relative to the base 20 when the child car safety
seat 100 is installed on a car seat. During a side impact collision, the child car
safety seat 100 can collide with a car body by the lateral shock absorbers 30, so
as to transfer a side impact to the base 20 and away from the child, which can achieve
a purpose of reducing a risk of injury or death of the child due to the side impact
and provide enhanced protection for the child. However, the number of the lateral
shock absorber 30 is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment,
the child car safety seat also can include only one lateral shock absorber disposed
on one side of the base.
[0027] The two lateral shock absorbers 30 have identical structures. For simplicity, one
of the two lateral shock absorbers 30 at one side is introduced as follows. As shown
in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the lateral shock absorber 30 includes the protective fender
31, a resilient component 33 and a locking mechanism 35. An end of the protective
fender 31 is pivoted to the base 20, so that the protective fender 31 is pivotally
switchable between the folded state and the unfolded state relative to the base 20.
The resilient component 33 is for biasing the protective fender 31 to switch to the
unfolded state. The locking mechanism 35 is for selectively engaging with the protective
fender 31 to restrain the protective fender 31 from switching to the unfolded state
or from disengaging from the protective fender 31 to allow the protective fender 31
to switch to the unfolded state by the resilient component 33 when the protective
fender 31 is located in the folded state.
[0028] In order to facilitate pivotal connections of the ends of the two protective fenders
31 and the base 20, the base 20 includes the two connecting portions 21 and a base
body. The two connecting portions 21 protrude from the base body. Preferably, the
two connecting portions 21 can protrude from end portions of two of four corners of
the base body. The two protective fenders 31 are pivotally connected to the two connecting
portions 21, respectively. Furthermore, the protective fender 31 and the corresponding
connecting portion 21 are arranged side by side when the protective fender 31 is in
the folded state. Preferably, a first protrusion 311 can be formed on a lower end
of the protective fender 31, and a second recess 213 can be formed on the connecting
portion 21 and located at a position corresponding to the first protrusion 311, so
as to facilitate the protective fender 31 to switch to the folded state by engagement
of the first protrusion 311 and the second recess 213. Besides, the first protrusion
311 can increase an area of the lower end of the protective fender 31, so as to provide
a better side buffering effect during a side impact collision.
[0029] Preferably, in this embodiment, the resilient component 33 can be a torsional spring
disposed on a pivoting shaft of the protective fender 31 and abutting between the
protective fender 31 and the connecting portion 21 to facilitate the protective fender
31 to switch to the unfolded state. More preferably, in this embodiment, a first recess
211 can be formed on an upper end of the connecting portion 21 for installing an end
of the torsional spring to facilitate operation of the torsional spring. However,
the type and the configuration of the resilient component 33 are not limited to this
embodiment. The resilient component 33 also can be any other resilient element and
disposed in a different manner.
[0030] As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the locking mechanism 35 includes the locking component
351 and a recovering component 353. A locking hole 355 is formed on the protective
fender 31. An installing hole 357 is formed on the connecting portion 21 of the base
20. The locking component 351 and the recovering component 353 are installed inside
the installing hole 357. Specifically, in this embodiment, the recovering component
353 can abut between a bottom wall of the installing hole 357 and the locking component
351 for biasing the locking component 351 to engage with the locking hole 355 to restrain
movement of the protective fender 31. However, it is not limited to this embodiment.
For example, in another embodiment, the locking hole can be formed on the connecting
portion for installing the locking component and the recovering component, and the
installing hole can be formed on the protective fender. F urthermore, understandably,
in another embodiment, the child car safety seat can further include an operating
component connected to the locking mechanism for driving the locking mechanism to
disengage from the protective fender. For example, the operating component can be
connected to the locking component for driving the locking component to disengage
from the locking hole to allow movement of the protective fender.
[0031] Preferably, in this embodiment, the recovering component 353 can be a compression
spring. However, it is not limited thereto.
[0032] Understandably , in another embodiment, the locking mechanism can further include
a restraining portion disposed inside the installing hole for restraining a displacement
distance of the locking component to prevent disengagement of the locking component
and the installing hole caused by the recovering component.
[0033] As shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 10, in this embodiment, the locking mechanism further
includes a driving pin 359. A through hole 352 is formed on the locking component
351. A long slot 40 is formed on the connecting portion 21 for allowing the driving
pin 359 to pass therethrough. The driving pin 359 is inserted into the through hole
352 by passing through the long slot 40 to be fixed on the locking component 351.
The driving pin 359 can be operated via the long slot 40 to drive the locking component
351 to disengage from the locking hole 355, so as to allow the protective fender 31
to switch from the folded state to the unfolded state. Preferably, in this embodiment,
the driving pin 359 can be made of metal material and formed in a circular column,
and a shape of the through hole 352 can be corresponding to a shape of the driving
pin 359. However, the material and the shape of the driving pin 359 are not limited
to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the driving pin also can be
formed in a square or rectangular column. Furthermore, the structure and the configuration
of the driving pin are not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment,
the driving pin can be configured to prevent the disengagement of the locking component
and the locking hole by insertion of the driving pin into the through hole and to
allow the disengagement of the locking component and the locking hole by removal of
the driving pin from the through hole.
[0034] Besides, understandably , in another embodiment, the child car safety seat can further
include two releasing portions disposed on a bottom portion of the seat body. The
releasing portion is for driving the driving pin to disengage the locking component
from the locking hole when the seat body is installed on the base, which simplifies
operation of the child car safety seat. Specifically, the releasing portion can be
a protrusion disposed on the bottom portion of the seat body and located at a position
corresponding to the long slot, so that the protrusion can operate the driving pin
via the long slot to disengage the locking component from the locking hole to allow
the protective fender to switch to the unfolded state by the resilient component when
the seat body is installed on the base, which brings convenience in use.
[0035] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 7, a first guiding inclined surface 50 is
formed on a lower end of the protective fender 31. A second guiding inclined surface
60 is formed on the locking component 351. The locking component 351 is driven by
cooperation of the first guiding inclined surface 50 and the second guiding inclined
surface 60 and the recovering component 353 to engage with the locking hole 355 when
the protective fender 31 switches from the unfolded state to the folded state.
[0036] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, operational principle of the child car safety seat
100 of this embodiment is provided as follows.
[0037] When the child car safety seat 100 is not in use, the protective fender 31 can be
operated to pivotally switch to the folded state relative to the base 20 to save occupied
space of the child car safety seat 100. During the aforementioned process, the resilient
component 33 can be resiliently deformed, and the locking component 351 can be driven
by cooperation of the first guiding inclined surface 50 and the second guiding inclined
surface 60 and the resiliently deformed recovering component 353 to engage with the
locking hole 355, so as to restrain the protective fender 31 in the folded state.
Furthermore, when the protective fender 31 is in the folded state, the protective
fender 31 and the connecting portion 21 are arranged side by side due to the engagement
of the second recess 213 and the first protrusion 311.
[0038] When the child car safety seat 100 is in use, the protective fender 31 can be operated
to pivotally switch from the folded state to the unfolded state relative to the base
20 to reduce a side impact on the child during a side impact collision. Specifically,
the driving pin 359 can be operated via the long slot 40 to drive the locking component
351 to disengage from the locking hole 355 for allowing the protective fender 31 to
leave away from the folded state. At this moment, the resiliently deformed resilient
component 33 can drive the protective fender 31 to pivotally switch from the folded
state to the unfolded state relative to the base 20. Therefore, during a side impact
collision, the child car safety seat 100 can collide with the car body by the protective
fender 31 of the corresponding lateral shock absorber 30, so as to transfer a side
impact to the base 20 and away from the child, which can achieve the purpose of reducing
the risk of injury or death of the child due to the side impact and provide the enhanced
protection for the child.
[0039] Please refer to FIG. 11 to FIG. 13. FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a child car
safety seat in a using state without illustrating the seat body 10 according to a
second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 12 is a partial diagram of the child
car safety seat shown in FIG. 11 according to the second embodiment of the present
invention. FIG. 13 is another partial diagram of the child car safety seat shown in
FIG. 11 at another view according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 13, different from the child car safety seat of the first
embodiment, in this embodiment, the seat body 10 includes two engaging portions, which
is not shown in figures, and two engaging slots are formed on two front corners of
the base 20, which are not indicated by any numeral, so that the seat body 10 can
be detachably installed on the base 20 by engagement of the engaging portions and
the engaging slots. The two locking mechanisms 35 are disposed on the base 20. The
two locking mechanisms 35 can be operated by the seat body 10 to sequentially switch
to a first state and a second state while the seat body 10 is installed on the base
20. When the two locking mechanisms 35 are in the first state, the two protective
fenders 31 are allowed to switch to the unfolded state by the two resilient components
33, which can achieve a purpose of preventing a situation in which a caregiver forgets
to unfold the protective fender 31. When the two locking mechanisms 35 are in the
second state, the two locking mechanisms 35 can engage with the two protective fenders
31 switching from the unfolded state to the folded state.
[0040] The two locking mechanisms 35 have identical structures. For simplicity, one of the
two locking mechanisms 35 at one side is introduced as follows. The locking mechanism
35 includes a locking assembly 3a, an abutting component 3b and an abutting block
3c connected to the abutting component 3b. Preferably, the abutting block 3c can be
disposed inside the engaging slot. However, it is not limited thereto. The locking
assembly 3a is for engaging with the protective fender 31 to restrain movement of
the protective fender 31. The locking assembly 3a includes two protruding lugs 36a.
The abutting component 3b includes a first abutting portion 31b detachably abutting
against the two protruding lugs 36a. The abutting component 3b can be driven by the
abutting block 3c to press the two protruding lugs 36a to drive the locking assembly
3a to move to a releasing state to disengage from the protective fender 31 when the
abutting block 3c is pressed downwardly by the engaging portion of the seat body 10
to a first position. At this moment, the protective fender 31 can switch to the unfolded
state by the resilient component 33, and an included angle between the protective
fender 31 in the unfolded state and a lateral surface of the base 20 can be substantially
100 degrees. However, it is not limited to thereto. The included angle between the
protective fender 31 in the unfolded state and the lateral surface of the base 20
can be substantially from 90 to 145 degrees.
[0041] Afterwards, the abutting component 3b can be further driven by the abutting block
3c to disengage the first abutting portion 31b from the two protruding lugs 36a and
to drive the locking assembly 3a to a locking state when the abutting block 3c is
pressed downwardly by the seat body 1 0 from the first position to a second position
lower than the first position. At this moment, the protective fender 31 switching
from the unfolded state to the folded state can be engaged with and restrained by
the locking assembly 3a in the locking state. However, the number of the protruding
lug 36a is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the
locking mechanism can include only one protruding lug.
[0042] Besides, preferably, the locking mechanism 35 can further include a second recovering
component 3e for biasing the abutting block 3c to recover. Specifically, the second
recovering component 3e can abut between the base 20 and the abutting block 3c to
bias the abutting block 3c to recover. Furthermore, preferably, the abutting block
3c and the abutting component 3b can be integrally formed to extend service lives
of the abutting block 3c and the abutting component 3b and facilitate operations of
the abutting block 3c and the abutting component 3b.
[0043] In order to ensure that the locking assembly 3a can be operated to be in the locking
state for engaging the protective fender 31 after disengagement of the two protruding
lugs 36a and the first abutting portion 31b, a range of the movements of the two protruding
lugs 36a can be restrained. Preferably, the abutting component 3b can further include
a second abutting portion 32b. A vertical distance between the second abutting portion
32b and the two protruding lugs 36a is greater than a vertical distance between the
first abutting portion 31b and the two protruding lugs 36a. The two protruding lugs
36a abut against the second abutting portion 32b after the disengagement of the two
protruding lugs 36a and the first abutting portion 31b, which can effectively restrain
the range of the movements of the two protruding lugs 36a.
[0044] As shown in FIG. 11 to FIG. 13, the locking assembly 3a includes a locking rod 31a,
a pivoting component 35a and a first recovering component 37a. The locking rod 31a
includes a locking end 32a and a connecting end, which is not indicated by any numeral.
The locking end 32a is for engaging with the protective fender 31 to restrain movement
of the protective fender 31. The connecting end is pivoted to the pivoting component
35a. The two protruding lugs 36a are disposed on two sides of the pivoting component
35a. The first recovering component 37a is for biasing the locking rod 31a to recover
to engage with the protective fender 31. Specifically, the locking assembly 3a further
includes a block plate 34a located between the locking end 32a and the connecting
end, and the first recovering component 37a abuts between the block plate 34a and
the base 20. In other words, it is required to overcome a resilient force generated
by the first recovering component 37a so that the abutting component 3b can press
the two protruding lugs 36a.
[0045] Furthermore, the locking mechanism 35 further includes a pushing component 3d disposed
beneath the pivoting component 35a. The pushing component 3d includes a pushing inclined
surface 31d for abutting a lower end of the pivoting component 35a, and the pivoting
component 35a is driven by the pushing inclined surface 31a to pivot to drive the
two protruding lugs 36a to disengage from the first abutting portion 31b and then
to engage with the second abutting portion 32b. Specifically, a through slot, which
is not indicated by any numeral, is formed on the abutting component 3b. The pivoting
component 35a passes through the through slot.
[0046] Operational principle of the child car safety seat of this embodiment is provided
as follows.
[0047] When the child car safety seat is not in use, the seat body 10 can be detached from
the base 20. At this moment, the protective fender 31 can be operated to switch to
the folded state relative to the base 20, so that the protective fender 31 can be
engaged with and restrained by the locking mechanism 35. At this time, the locking
rod 31a is located at a locking position, and the locking end 32a of the locking rod
31a located above the block plate 34a engages with the protective fender 31. The first
abutting portion 31b abuts against the two protruding lugs 35a .
[0048] When it is desired to use the child car safety seat, the seat body 10 can be installed
on the base 20, so that the engaging portion of the seat body 10 press the abutting
block 3c downwardly to the second position via the first position. During a process
of the abutting block 3c moving to the first position, the abutting block 3c drives
the first abutting portion 31b of the abutting component 3b to press the two protruding
lugs 36a to drive the pivoting component 35 to move the locking rod 31a downwardly
to disengage from the protective fender 31. At this moment, the protective fender
31 can be driven by the resilient component 33 to switch to the unfolded state.
[0049] Afterwards, during a process of the abutting block 3c moving from the first position
to the second position, the abutting block 3c drives the first abutting portion 31b
of the abutting component 3b to press the two protruding lugs 36a to drive the pivoting
component 35 to move downwardly to abut against the pushing inclined surface 31a,
so that the pivoting component 35a can be driven by the pushing inclined surface 31a
to pivot to drive the two protruding lugs 36a to disengage from the first abutting
portion 31b and then to engage with the second abutting portion 32b by the first recovering
component 37a. At this moment, the locking rod 31a is driven to recover to the locking
position. Therefore, when it is desired to fold the protective fender 31 at one side,
the caregiver can operate the protective fender 31 manually, so that the locking rod
31a engages with the protective fender 31, which saves the occupied space. In other
words, the child car safety seat of this embodiment can not only unfold the protective
fender 31 by engagement of the seat body 10 and the base 20 for preventing the situation
in which the caregiver forgets to unfold the protective fender 31 but also allow the
protective fender 31 switching from the unfolded state to the folded state to be engaged
with and restrained by the locking rod 31a for saving occupied space.

of the child car safety seat at another view according to the third embodiment of
the present invention. FIG. 24 is an enlarged diagram of a D portion of the child
car safety seat shown in FIG. 23 according to the third embodiment of the present
invention. As shown in FIG. 14 to FIG. 20, different from the child car safety seats
of the aforementioned embodiments, the protective fender 31 of this embodiment includes
the driving block 11a, the supporting block 13a and a combining assembly 15a. The
driving block 11a is pivoted to the base 20 and includes a protruding portion 111a.
As shown in FIG. 14, the protruding portion 111a is biased to pivot upwardly to switch
the protective fender 31 to the folded state. When the seat body 10 is not installed
on the base 20, the protruding portion 111a is located at a raising position, so that
the protective fender 31 is in the folded state. While the seat body 10 is installed
on the base 20, the seat body 10 presses the protruding portion 111a to pivotally
switch the protective fender 31 to the unfolded state. The supporting block 13a is
pivoted to the driving block 11a. The supporting block 13a is pivotally connected
to driving block 11a by the combining assembly 15a and pivotally switchable between
a folded position and an unfolded position relative to the driving block 11a. Preferably,
in this embodiment, a pivoting shaft of the supporting block 13a and the driving block
11a can be the same as a pivoting shaft of the driving block 11a and the base 20.
However, it is not limited to this embodiment. When the protective fender 31 is in
the unfolded state, the supporting block 13a is located at the unfolded position relative
to the driving block 11a, and the driving block 11a is located at the unfolded position
relative to the base 20. The supporting block 13a can be operated to pivot to the
folded position relative to the driving block 11a and received inside a lateral portion
of the base 20, as shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 18, so as to save occupied space. However,
at this moment, the driving block 11a is still located at the unfolded position relative
to the base 20.
[0051] As shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, the combining assembly 15a includes a pulling plate
151a, two inserting pins 156a and a first resilient component 157a located between
the two inserting pins 156a. Two inserting slots 112a are formed on the driving block
11a for allowing the two inserting pins 156a to pass therethrough. A first pulling
slot 152a and a second pulling slot 153a are formed on the pulling plate 151a. A first
column 131a protrudes from the supporting block 13a and passes through the first pulling
slot 152a. A second column, which is not indicated by any numeral, protrudes from
each inserting pin 156a and passes through the second pulling slot 153a. The first
resilient component 157a is for biasing the two inserting pins 156a to recover to
engage with the two inserting slots 112a. The supporting block 13a is restrained from
pivoting relative to the driving block 11a when the two inserting pins 156a engage
with the two inserting slots 112a. The supporting block 13a is allowed to pivot relative
to the driving block 11a when the pulling plate 151a is operated to disengage the
two inserting pins 156a from the two inserting slots 112a. Specifically, in this embodiment,
the second pulling slot 153a includes a first side 154a and a second side 155a. A
length of the second side 155a is less than a length of the first side 154a. The two
inserting pins 156a are located at the first side 154a when the two inserting pins
156a engage with the two inserting slots 112a, so as to restrain pivotal movement
of the supporting block 13a relative to the driving block 11a. Furthermore, the two
inserting pins 156a are located at the second side 155a when the two inserting pins
156a disengage from the two inserting slots 112a, so as to allow the pivotal moment
of the supporting block 13a relative to the driving block 11a. However, the numbers
of the inserting pin 156a and the inserting slot 112a are not limited to this embodiment.
For example, in another embodiment, the combining assembly also can include one inserting
pin and one corresponding inserting slot for allowing or restraining the pivotal movement
of the supporting block relative to the driving block.
[0052] As shown in FIG. 21 and FIG. 22, the lateral shock absorber 30 further includes a
restraining mechanism 36. An end of the restraining mechanism 36 is disposed on the
base 20. Another end of the restraining mechanism 36 is movable relative to the driving
block 11a for engaging with the driving block 11a to restrain the driving block 11a
from being pivotally folded relative to the base 20. In other words, the restraining
mechanism 36 can ensure the protective fender 31 to be in the unfolded state even
during a side impact collision. Furthermore, the restraining mechanism 36 includes
a restraining component 361, a restraining switch 363 and a second resilient component
365. The restraining switch 363 is installed on the base 20. The second resilient
component 365 abuts against the restraining component 361 and the base 20. An end
of the restraining component 361 is installed on the restraining switch 363, and the
restraining switch 363 controls another end of the restraining component 361 to extend
outwardly to engage with driving block 11a or retract inwardly to disengage from the
driving block 11a.
[0053] Specifically, a restraining slot 364 is formed on the restraining switch 363. The
restraining slot 364 includes a first end and a second end. In this embodiment, the
first end and the second end can be a closed end and an open end respectively. However,
it is not limited thereto. A width of the restraining slot 364 gradually increases
from the first end to the second end, and a restraining column 362 protrudes from
the restraining component 361 and passes through the restraining slot 364. The restraining
component 361 can be driven to engage with the driving block 11a or disengage from
the driving block 11a by cooperation of the restraining column 362 and the restraining
slot 364. In other words, in this embodiment, the end of the restraining component
361 is installed on the restraining switch 363, and the another end of the restraining
component 361 is driven to extend outwardly to abut against a lower portion of the
driving block 11a for restraining the driving block 11a from pivoting to the folded
position relative to the base 20 or to retract inwardly to leave apart from the driving
block 11a to allow the driving block 11a to pivot to the folded position relative
to the base 20.
[0054] Operational principle of protective fender 31 of this embodiment is provided as follows.
[0055] When the protective fender 31 is in the unfolded state, the supporting block 13a
is at the unfolded position relative to the driving block 11a, and the driving block
11a is at the unfolded position relative to the base 20. The another end of the restraining
component 361 extends outwardly to abut against the lower portion of the driving block
11a for restraining the driving block 11a from pivoting to the folded state relative
to the base 20. The two inserting pins 156a are located at the first side 154a and
engage with the two inserting slots 112a, so as to restrain the pivotal movement of
the supporting block 13a relative to the driving block 11a. When it is desired to
fold the supporting block 13a relative to the driving block 11a, the pulling plate
151 can be operated to drive the two inserting pins 156a to move from the first side
154a to the second side 155a. During the aforementioned process, the first resilient
component 157 is compressed, and a distance between the two inserting pins 156a is
reduced, so that the two inserting pins 156a are driven to disengage from the tow
inserting slots 112a to allow the supporting block 13a to pivot to the folded position
to save occupied space. It should be noticed that, after the supporting block 13a
pivots to the folded position, the driving block 11a is still at the unfold position,
i.e., an end of the driving block 11a with the inserting slots 112a protrudes from
the supporting block 13a or the lateral surface of the base 20 . In order to pivot
the driving block 11a to the folded position relative to the base 20, the restraining
switch 363 can be operated to drive the restraining column 362 to move from the second
end to the first end. During the aforementioned process, the second resilient component
365 is compressed, and the restraining component 361 retracts relative to the driving
block 11a, so that the driving block 11a is allowed to pivot to the folded position
relative to the base 20.
[0056] As shown in FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, the locking mechanism 35 includes the locking assembly
3a, the abutting component 3b, a third resilient component 3f and the abutting block
3c connected to the abutting component 3b. The locking assembly 3a is for engaging
with the protective fender 31 to restrain movement of the protective fender 31. The
third resilient component 3f is for biasing the abutting component 3b to disengage
the locking assembly 31 from the protective fender 31 along a direction opposite to
a direction K. The abutting component 3b is driven by the abutting block 3c to drive
the locking assembly 3a to the locking state for engaging with the protective fender
31, particularly the supporting block 13a, when the abutting block 3c is pressed downwardly.
The abutting component 3b is driven by the third resilient component 3f to drive the
locking assembly 3a to leave away from the locking state to the releasing state when
the abutting block 3c is not pressed. In this embodiment, preferably, the third resilient
component 3f can be a torsional spring abutting against the abutting component 3b
and the base 20, and the locking assembly 3a can be configured to move upwardly to
engage with the protective fender 31. Furthermore, the locking mechanism 35 can be
a seesaw mechanism, and the torsional spring can be configured to bias an end of the
abutting component 3b near the locking assembly 3a to pivot downwardly. When the seat
body 10 is installed on the base 20, the locking assembly 3a is in the locking state
for engaging with the supporting block 13a of the folded protective fender 31 which
is not in use. When the seat body 10 is detached from the base 20, the locking assembly
3a is in the releasing state for allowing the folded protective fender 31 to pivotally
switch to the unfolded state, which can prevent the situation in which the caregiver
forgets to unfold the protective fender 31.
[0057] As shown in FIG. 24, the locking assembly 3a includes the locking rod 31a and the
first recovering component 37a. The locking rod 31a includes the locking end 32a and
the connecting end, which is not indicated by any numeral. The locking end 32a is
for engaging with the protective fender 31 to restrain movement of the protective
fender 31. A sliding slot 39a is formed on the abutting component 3b. A sliding column
38a protrudes from the connecting end and passes through the sliding slot 39a, and
the first recovering component 37a biases the locking rod 31a to recover to engage
with the protective fender 31. Specifically, the locking assembly 3a further includes
the block plate 34a located between the locking end 32a and the connecting end, and
the first recovering component 37a abuts between the block plate 34a and the abutting
component 3b.
[0058] Operational principle of the locking mechanism 35 of this embodiment is provided
as follows.
[0059] When the child car safety seat is not in use, the seat body 10 can be detached from
the base 20, so that the third resilient component 3f can drive the locking assembly
3a to move downwardly by the abutting component 3b to disengage the locking end 32
from the folded protective fender 31. Therefore, the protective fender 31 can switch
from the folded state to the unfolded state by the resilient component 33, which can
prevent the situation in which the caregiver forgets to unfold the protective fender
31.
[0060] When it is desired to use the child car safety seat, the seat body 10 can be installed
on the base 20 to press the abutting block 3c to compress the third resilient component
3f and drive the locking assembly 3a to move upwardly to the locking state. At this
moment, the protective fender 31 which is not in use, can be operated to switch to
the folded state and restrained by the locking rod 31a, so as to save occupied space.
Therefore, the protective fender 31 of this embodiment cannot be retrained by the
locking mechanism 35 when the seat body 10 is detached from the base 20, which can
prevent the situation in which the caregiver forgets to unfold the protective fender
31.
[0061] Please refer to FIG. 25 to FIG. 29. FIG. 25 and FIG. 26 are schematic diagrams of
a child car safety seat in different states according to a fourth embodiment of the
present invention. FIG. 27 is a diagram of the child car safety seat shown in FIG.
26 without illustrating the seat body 10 according to the fourth embodiment of the
present invention. FIG. 28 is a partial diagram of the child car safety seat according
to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 29 is another partial diagram
of the child car safety seat at another view according to the fourth embodiment of
the present invention. As shown in FIG. 25 to FIG. 29, different from the child car
safety seats of the aforementioned embodiment, the combining assembly 15a includes
the pulling plate 151a and a first resilient unit 158. The first resilient unit 158
abuts between the pulling plate 151a and the supporting block 13a. A locking portion
159 is formed on an upper end of the pulling plate 151 for being inserted into a notch
formed on the driving block 11a and located between the supporting block 13a and the
driving block 11a, so as to retrain the pivotal movement of the supporting block 13a
relative to the driving block 11a by interference between the locking portion 159
and the notch. When it is desired to pivot the supporting block 13a relative to the
driving block 11a, the pulling plate 151a can be operated to remove the locking portion
159 from the notch to allow the pivotal movement of the supporting block 13a relative
to the driving block 11a.
[0062] In this embodiment, the supporting block 13a is pivoted to the driving block 11a
at a position near an end of the driving block 11a away from the protruding portion
111a, and the supporting block 13a is aligned with the end of the driving block 11a
when the supporting block 13a is pivotally folded relative to the driving block 11a.
In other words, in this embodiment, the pivoting shaft of the supporting block 13a
and the driving block 11a can be different from the pivoting shaft of the driving
block 11a and the base 20. Therefore, the driving block 11a does not protrude from
the lateral surface of the base 20 when the supporting block 13a is pivoted to the
folded position relative to the driving block 11a. However, in the third embodiment,
the driving block 11a protrudes from the lateral surface. Furthermore, in this embodiment,
the restraining mechanism 36 is omitted. When the seat body 10 is detached from the
base 20, the unfolded protective fender 31 can be driven by gravity to pivot to the
folded state. Besides, similarly, the included angle between the protective fender
31 in the unfolded state and the lateral surface of the base 20 can be substantially
from 90 to 145 degrees, and preferably, in this embodiment, the included angle between
the protective fender 31 in the unfolded state and the lateral surface of the base
20 can be substantially 100 degrees.
[0063] Other structures of this embodiment are similar to the ones of the third embodiment,
Detailed description for those structures is omitted herein for simplicity.
[0064] In summary, the present invention utilizes the lateral shock absorber disposed on
the base to collide with a car body during a side impact collision for transferring
a side impact to the base and away from a child sitting in the child car safety seat.
Therefore, it can effectively reduce a risk of injury or death of the child due to
the side impact and provide enhanced protection for the child. Furthermore, the present
invention utilizes the locking mechanism to restrain or allow pivotal movement of
the protective fender of the lateral shock absorber in the folded state. Therefore,
it has advantages of simple structure and easy operation and is capable of providing
a convenient way for a caregiver to operate the lateral shock absorber.
